"Mark was great - arrived on time and set up before anyone arrived. good sense of humour. He played all the right sort of music that I had asked for-and sounded even better than the clip on-line. All the comments I heard from people who came to the party were extremely positive. Several people asked for details - so there may be more bookings coming Mark's way! I would book him again."

"Fruin played the background music to our wedding ceremony, and everyone commented on how lovely the music was. They selected a lovely piece of music as the bride walked down the aisle, and played our request of Highland Cathedral during the signing of the register. Mark was really efficient in his communications and made the whole process as simple as it could be."

"During the build up to our wedding, Ben got in touch with us and was very helpful in advising us on set timings and going through our song choices. He even bought a new adaptor cable so that we could play our own playlist during breaks. He was also accommodating when we changed our mind about the set timings and durations a few days beforehand. The Blue Suede Shoes arrived in good time and were able to set up without disrupting our wedding breakfast. They looked really smart and generally conducted themselves really well and were friendly and open. All of our guests loved them. With regards to the performance, we thought they were excellent. They played all the songs we requested and some of the guests commented that they sounded so good it was hard to believe they were playing live! They exceeded our expectations. They even managed to get my 84 year old Aunt up and dancing. They truly made our wedding day and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality and stylish band for their wedding (or any other event!). "

"Jimmy and Eccentric Pony were absolutely fantastic. Us and our guests had a brilliant time, everyone has told us how good they thought the band were. We all danced all night! Both on the lead up to the day and on the day itself Jimmy was incredibly professional and made everything a breeze. Our day was running considerably behind schedule and the band were so flexible and relaxed. I would not hesitate to recommend them."

"The band made our day and night! The duo came and set up without a fuss and the band were very professional and interacted with the crowd, they were great fun. I organised our wedding from Australia and it was clear to see on their website that the band would be great. We didn't want an average wedding band and the band exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend booking this band!"

"It’s No' Reel Celidh Band played at our wedding ceilidh in September 2014. Our party was relatively small, consisting of about sixty guests from different parts of the UK and abroad. Far from everyone was familiar with ceilidhs, but went away with a wonderful and unique experience, largely thanks to the professionalism, beautiful musicianship, and kindness of the band. From the very first contact, months before or wedding, to the final packing-up after the ceilidh, It’s No' Reel kept surprising us with their willingness to help. We were aware that some of our requests (we wanted to use some of the time on the night for a performance with our drumming group, and we each liaised with them when planning surprises for each other) were somewhat unusual. Not only did they provide a lovely ceilidh, patiently encouraging people to take part, and with a good ear for the mood of the party, but they were more accommodating of our own ideas and visions than we could have hoped for."

"We hired these guys for our wedding April 2023 and we couldn’t be happier! They were amazing, so charismatic and fun! All our guests commented on how great they were and how much of a blast they were having. They played our first dance and we loved every second. We partied the night away. If you want a wedding that everyone raves about, hire these guys!"

"Oh what a night it was! Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio was the perfect choice for a celebration. They chose dances that matched the skill and enthusiasm of my guests. Setting the right pace is good when lots of guests belong to a running club! Guests from Hong Kong, Greece, Vietnam China and USA had no idea what they were coming to … The band arrived on time, setting up easily and Phil’s friendly manner of instruction was just right. My 6 year old niece (who is VERY shy) shocked her mother by joining the dancing! Lovely comments from guests: “I haven’t danced like that in years” and ” The most fun and dis-organised chaos I’ve had in ages!”"

"Just a quick big up for the band. The guys were awesome and everyone at our Christmas party loved the whole interaction with the crowd and the choice of songs. They were totally professional and loved the fact they stayed for a drink afterwards and mixed with the party guests and chatted. A great night had by all. "

"Hi Eugene From start to finish the band was absolutely amazing so professional and well presented! They made light of what was a sad day and made my uncles funeral one to remember! Mick became the talk of Middleton and so many people after the funeral commented on the band! We were so impressed and would recommend your services to anyone and everyone! We are forever grateful for the band attending his funeral and giving him the send off he deserved! Thank you so much his funeral will never be forgotten! I hope that’s okay if you need anything else just let us know Thanks Wayne "
